Answer: Frames are a mechanism to divide the browser window
into several subwindows, or "frames" (panes, sections, etc.) The
contents of each frame is a seperate document. The central element of
a frame set-up is the Frame Layout page. This page defines the
frames, which documents appear in each frame, and what non-frame
browsers see. Frames are employed button bars, documents where the
author wishes to have a header, logo, or something displayed at all
times. Frames can also speed up the way the browser renders the page.
When you change the document displayed in a frame, only that frame
needs to be updated, so the whole page is not redrawn. Go to
Netscape's Website for more information on frames.

2. Question: How do I create
frames in CHP?

Answer: To make a frame document in CHP, select "New Frame
Layout" from the "File" menu. Then, using the commands in the Frame
menu or in the toolbar, divide the one frame to your heart's content.
To set which document you want in each frame, there are several
methods:

1. Double-click in the frame, and the Frame (Object)
Editor will appear. Now either type in the URL of the files in the
URL field, use the pop-up menu to the right of the field to select a
currently open document or a recent link, or, in CHP 2.0, click the
browse button to choose the file using a standard dialog box.

2. Click in the frame, and then open the Link Editor. Now either
type in the URL of the files in the URL field, use the pop-up menu to
the right of the field to select a currently open document or a
recent link, or click the browse button to choose the file using a
standard dialog box.

3. Drag a document from the Finder onto the frame.

Use the three other modes: Edit, Preview, and Source, to set what
browsers NOT capable of frames will see. This version is called the
NOFRAMES version for the HTML tags which mark it.

Some people leave a message for non-frames users along the lines
of: "Click here if you are not using a frames-capable browser." link.
The fact is, the ONLY people who will see that link (and everything
else between the <NOFRAMES> tags) will be those who are not
using a frames-capable browser. In general, it is easiest to the
NOFRAMES space to make a non-frames version of what is in your
frames. CHP makes this relatively easy. Just open your frameset and
use edit mode, and you will design the NOFRAMES part of the page.If
you really must have non-framers go to another page, there is no need
to bring in frames in to your "Click Here" line. Unless of course you
are a frame supremacist and want everyone not using the latest
versions of Netscape to be aware at all times of how lowly they are
in the browser hierarchy.

In order to see how the document looks WITH frames, you will have
to open it with a frames capable browser.

Note: Each frame has its own background image or color. For
information on setting background images and colors, see the
Image Questions. TOP
